It's actually 52. I pulled the last of my vB5 add-ons a while back but it hasn't been moved to the graveyard yet.

I really wish vB5 was as good as it was supposed to be, but I see at least another year before it is even close to vB4 standards.

This is why I stopped developing new add-ons for vB. I had to go where my clients went to keep my head above water. All but one has moved away from vB and he is an absentee owner. His sites pretty much run themselves.

While I still keep an eye on vB, I don't see any indication of change. And I think you're being optimistic about another year. I don't think that will happen since it's been about 2 years since release and it still hasn't improved very much.
